Crystal Gayle at Brauntex Performing Arts Theatre

Inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in January 2017 by her sister Loretta Lynn, the Academy of Country Music recognized Gayle with a 2016 Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award for her Lifetime Achievements in Country Music. In 2009, she was honored to receive her own star on the fabled Hollywood Walk of Fame. These honors are fitting tributes to Gayle who has been a favorite of audiences of country and popular music since attaining national prominence with her first chart records in the mid-seventies. Renowned for her classic recording of her timeless signature song, “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue,” Gayle also scored with her multi-format hits, “You’ve Been Talking In Your Sleep,” “When I Dream,” “Half the Way” and her duet with Eddie Rabbitt, “Just You and I.”
